If you’re feeling post-holiday blues, you’re not alone. The LRT Kelana Jaya Line just had another morning of hiccups after yesterday’s technical problems.

Commuters reported delays for the second morning in a row, and the disruption has been confirmed by Rapid Rail, which says that the issue was detected at 7.44 am this morning. One train had technical problems and had to be driven manually. The operations team deployed an alternative train.

At 8.10 am, the faulty train was taken out of service and operations were aligned in stages before full stability. The line was back to normal operations at 8.12 am, Rapid Rail says. The operations team continued to monitor the situation and auxiliary police and station staff were on standby at the platforms to assist commuters.

However, at 3.07 pm (yes, half an hour ago), Rapid Rail posted up an unfortunate update regarding the same train line. It said that services are experiencing delays due to a disruption to the train door system and platform door at the KLCC station.

It’s not been a good start to the week so far for the KJ line; here’s hoping that the current issue is resolved before the evening rush hour starts.
